It all started on January 22, 2017 with one VERY odd phrase...
The day before, January 21, 2017, Sean Spicer, Donald Trump's original
press secretary, came to the podium, in an over-sized suit, irate at the
press for "falsely" claiming that the inaugural crowd size for Donald Trump
was less than that of President Barak Obama's in 2008 and 2012. That's
correct. One of the first things this administration decided to brief the
American people on was FALSELY claiming that more people witnessed
Trump's inauguration than witnessed Obama's. First off, there are pictures
to the contrary! Secondly, who cares how many people stood on the mall to
listen to the creepiest speech by a president on swearing in day? So on the
following day, Trump sent his most ardent champion, Kellyanne Conway, out
to the Sunday shows to "double down" on his crowd size conspiracy. And so
it was born, the one very odd phrase that would ultimately define his
presidency - ALTERNATIVE FACTS! Little did we realize that at the end of
Donald Trump's presidency, he would have told in excess of 30,500 lies!
In these tumultuous times, when it seems that the world we live in becomes more tribal everyday, we here at opinion-8ed! had the bright idea that interjecting a little wit might ratchet things down a bit... albeit one refrigerator or filing cabinet at a time.
Ten percent of proceeds go directly to charities addressing child welfare and environmental justice issues - just some of the areas we need to protect after four years of the previous administration.
